-fpic and -fPIC should do what you want.

g++ does not give any 'Not implemented' messages. However, some things are not
implemented, and make g++ dump core :-(.

g++ has (some) template support.

The C++ library with Sun C++ is a shared lib. libg++ is not, and this results
in quite big files. For example, this program:

#include        <iostream.h>

main()
{
        cout << "Hello, world\n";

        return 0;
}

resulted in a 16K executable for Sun C++, and a 81K executable for g++.

See ARM. g++ specific documentation does not exist.
